:25:00
A little daylight's coming through,
and you start to wonder:
:25:03
is it getting lighter, is it getting darker?
:25:05
Is it dawn or dusk?
:25:07
That's a terrifying problem, Nat.
:25:09
Because if it's dawn, you're dead.
:25:12
The bars are closed and the liquor stores don't open
till nine o'clock, and you can't last till nine o'clock.
:25:17
Or it maybe Sunday. That's the worst.
:25:21
No liquor stores at all. And you guys wouldn't open a bar,
not until one o'clock. Why? Why, Nat?
:25:25
Because we gotta go to church once in a while. That's why.
:25:29
Yeah, when a guy needs it most.
:25:32
What happened to those two quarts?
You polish them off last night?
:25:35
- What two quarts?
- The two bottles you had.
:25:39
That's right, I did have two bottles, didn't I?
:25:42
I hid one of them. I've still got it.
:25:44
I'm a capitalist, Nat!
:25:46
I've got untapped reserves. I'm rich!
:25:50
If you had enough money, you'd kill yourself in a month.
:25:53
Say, Nat, was there a gentleman here...
:25:54
Hello, Mr. Birnam. Didn't you go away for the weekend?
:25:57
Apparently not, Gloria.
:25:58
- Was there a gentleman here asking for me?
- Not to my knowledge there wasn't.
:26:01
Well, he was supposed to come around twelve o'clock.
He's from Albany.
:26:03
- Another friend of the folks?
- More a friend of a friend of the folks type.
:26:07
A fellow called me about him.
Wants me to show him the town.
:26:10
- Like Grant's Tomb for instance?
- But def.
:26:13
Hey, ain't it amazing, how many guys
come down from Albany just to see Grant's Tomb?
:26:20
Sometimes I wish you came from Albany.
:26:22
Yeah? Where would you take me?
:26:24
Lots of places. The Music Hall,
then the New Yorker Roof, maybe.
:26:28
There is now being presented at a theatre
on Forty-Fourth Street, the uncut version of Hamlet.
:26:32
Now, I see us as setting out for that. Do you know Hamlet?
:26:36
I know Forty-fourth Street.
:26:37
I'd like to get your interpretation of Hamlet's character.
:26:40
I'd like to give it to you.
:26:42
Dinner later, I think. Nothing before.
:26:44
I want you to always see Shakespeare on an empty stomach.
:26:46
Not even a pretzel?
:26:48
Could I have a glass of water?
:26:50
Why, sure. What'll it be for a chaser?
:26:53
- This is Nat's Bar, isn't it?
- That's what the man said.
:26:57
I'm looking for a young lady, name of Gloria.
